Intelligent exposure This brightens dark parts so the image can be recorded clearly. ≥ If there are extremely dark parts or the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be clear. Backlight compensation This makes the image brighter to prevent darkening of a backlit subject. Soft skin mode This makes skin colors appear softer for a more attractive appearance. This is more effective if you record a person closely from the torso up. ≥ If the background or anything else in the scene has colors similar to the skin color, they will also be smoothed. ≥ If the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be clear. ≥ If you record a person in the distance, the face may not be recorded clearly. In this case, cancel soft skin mode or zoom in on the face (close-up) to record. Tele macro A more impressive image can be obtained by focusing on the object only in close-up and shading off the background. ≥ The unit can focus on the subject at a distance of approx. 50 cm (20q). ≥ If the magnification is 20k or less, then it is automatically set to 20k. ≥ The tele macro function is canceled when the zoom magnification becomes lower than 20k. Guidelines You can check if the image is level while recording or playing back motion pictures and still pictures. The function can also be used to estimate the balance of the composition. ∫ Selecting the type of Guidelines # # # Setting canceled ≥ The guidelines do not appear on the images actually recorded. 51 VQT3Q78
